Revisit the Charles: Where bicyclists played in 1895

Sorry, this event has been cancelled due to the forecast of a rainy day. It will be run at a future date. Look for information on walthambike.com or the Charles river wheelers rides calendar.

Take an easy ride, about 12 miles among bicycle-related historical sites with Larry Finison, author of the acclaimed book Boston's Cycling Craze, 1880-1900. Visit and learn where bicycles were built, where bicyclists by the hundreds hung out and picnicked by the Charles River, and about Waltham's former bicycle racetrack. We will ride in a group -- nobody will be left behind.

The first traffic light west of Route 128 on Route 30 is River Road to the north. The second right on River Road is the access road to the Duck Feeding Area parking lot.
